I'm on a mission to try a bunch of US chains I've seen on TV/movies. Tonight is Panda Express. We have some of the best Asian food outside of Asia so this would need to impress hard.

Verdict: excellent food court Chinese food, because that's exactly what it is, nothing more. I've had a LOT worse and not heaps better.

Will you be visiting one of those steakhouses where they slop the BBQ marinate over the slow cooked beef with a mini mop? Please do visit and post pics.

Motherfucker that's not a fortune, that's advice

Be a looming omen I base my life off which was randomly assigned to me by the nice Latina lady who I paid for my food court dinner or be nothing.

and this is where I introduce you to the game "in bed", where every time you read a fortune cookie, you add "in bed" to the end.

Ha I did something similiar a few years back.

Apparently I'm some kind of heathen because I liked Shake Shack better than In N Out.

Bleh. Get some taco.

Are you going to go to white castle?

Nah I tried it on my last trip here. I think they're over on the east coast too but they're pretty bad.. steamed burgers from memory.
